New SCT wagons

Railmotor Models (TrainWorld Victoria) have released a new run of their PBGY Multifreighter wagons, plus the PBHY hicube wagons.


The PBGY wagons come either with grey or black roof versions, with or without the broken black stripe: all with new numbers. One item that I had concern for was the rolling characteristics of the bogies. Spinning the axles on opening the box, things did not look too good, but when placed on the track, Railmotor, have seemed to corrected the very poor running of the first release, as the wagon shot off along the track for a good distance, relative free running. Still no detail on the underframe.

The other wagon that has joined the fleet, are, Auscision's PWWY well wagons. These are highly detail as we have come to expect, and the main well body is cast metal, thus giving the model sufficient weight.
Finally have some wagons to carry the 48' boxes. Probably need one more, so will obtain one of the single packs.

Auscision's NR class update

Auscision's NR class models have just seen the light of day, with images posted recently on their Facebook page. Remember, these are only engineering samples, and probably a long way to go. At least the air tanks are fully moulded.

All photos from Auscision.
